Please join us in celebrating eARTh Day: AIR! This community Earth Day event explores the importance of air through science, art, music, and environmental discovery.

The event will take place Saturday, April 11, from 11AM to 3PM at the Haan Museum of Indiana Art and is free and open to the public.

This year’s theme, Air, highlights the invisible forces that shape life on Earth—from atmosphere and climate to breath, sound, and the movement of wildlife across landscapes.

The celebration is co-sponsored by the Haan Museum of Indiana Art, Purdue University’s HIFI Lab at the John Martinson Honors College, Silver House at JMHC, the Purdue Institute for a Sustainable Future, and the City of Lafayette.

Visitors will experience a lively afternoon of activities across the museum grounds and sculpture garden, including:

- Live music on the garden stage

- Hands-on science and art activities for children

- Interactive exhibits and research demonstrations

- Nature and sculpture garden tours

- Community games and sustainability displays

- A presentation of the region’s State of Sustainability report

Researchers from Purdue’s HIFI Lab will also share how scientists study the environment by observing patterns in the atmosphere, soundscapes, and biodiversity, helping communities better understand and protect natural systems.

Set within the museum’s historic mansion and outdoor sculpture garden, eARTh Day: AIR invites families, students, and community members to celebrate Earth Day through curiosity, creativity, and shared discovery.
